really helpful, but it seems to not be caching .js files for offline use? assume I've messed up somewhere - it seems to handle the .html, .css, .png, and .jpg files fine

@Offbeatmammal I don't think my 'text/javascript' MIME type check is correct. Browsers either changed how that's served, or I messed up when researching this (more likely the case). Looking right now to see if I can figure out what it should be.
